Matthew Millar has won the 2015 Holden NZ PGA Championship today at Remuera Golf Club in Auckland.

Starting the final round with a two shot lead, Millar fired 1-under
the card today to claim victory by three shots with a tournament total of 18-under
270.

"I am so relieved, gee it was tough out there today," said
Millar.

"Remuera certainly showed its teeth. The wind was strong,
blowing in different directions."

"All of the players certainly found it difficult, I know I
did, but I am absolutely thrilled."

It’s a special victory for the 38-year-old from Canberra,
after 16 years playing Professionally it’s his first victory on the PGA Tour of
Australasia.

"I’m so happy and when I think about it, it ticks a box for
me off the goal list," added Millar.

"Why has it taken me so long? I wish had that answer, but I
am over the moon."

A deserving winner, Millar has been the inform player with
three top-10 finishes so far in 2015 including a runner-up finish at the
Coca-Cola Queensland PGA Championship to New Zealander Ryan Fox.

"I have not complained about my results over the past few
weeks, when being so close but not winning, but that gave me the confidence I
needed today to go after the win," added Millar, who enjoyed the support of the
New Zealand crowd.

"The crowd have been fabulous, a lot of people out there,
it’s great."

"They were very supportive.  You hit a good shot and
they were really cheering, even when I hit a couple of poor shots out there,
they were encouraging me on."

With memories of the Queensland PGA in his mind, Millar
finished his round on a high rolling in a birdie to cement the Holden NZ PGA
Championship as his.

"When I missed the short one at 13, after putting what I
thought was the perfect line, I thought then, I wonder where I stand?" 

"Especially with the way Ryan Fox had been finishing the
last few weeks, there’s lots of par 5’s out there."

"I am very happy to have finished with a birdie on the last." 

Josh Geary finished the leading New Zealander and claimed
the Sir Bob Charles Cup for his efforts.

"I just found out that I have won the Sir Bob Charles Trophy
and it’s a real honour to have my name on a trophy with his name on it, being
the first is very special," said Geary.

He was tied runner-up on 15-under the card with Victorians
Kristopher Mueck and Geoff Drakeford.

Rounding out the top-5 on the leaderboard on 12-under 276
was Jared Pender (NZ), Azuma Yano (JPN) and Ryan Fox (NZ).

The PGA Tour of Australasia will now head to Queenstown for
the BMW NZ Open to be played at The Hills and Millbrook Resort from 12-15
March.
